RB 4700
< High flow capacity Applications Description
< Accurate control The RB 4700 regulator is designed for use The RB 4700 is a pilot-operated regulator
in industrial and distribution applications with an optional integrated safety shut-off
< Low differential
such as district stations, heating plants and device.
< Easy maintenance industrial customers. Its pilot system provides a fast and accurate
< Rugged construction for durability response to flow rate variation. Pilot supply
is protected by a separate fine filter. An

automatically loaded pressure feeder alows
< Travel indicator accurate control at high inlet pressure.
< Approved by the major European The optional built-in shutoff valve offers
gas distribution companies protection for overpressure or over- and
under-pressure. Its bypass system eases
the shutoff valve re-latching.

Pilot System
The RB 4700 regulators are equipped with pilot system serie TF 500 as follows:.
TF 5 1 X Options
1 Low pressure : 5 - 280 mbar
2 Medium pressure: 0.1 - 1 bar
3 High pressure: 0.25 - 13 bar
The pilot system serie TF 500 includes a built-in pre-regulator which is loaded by the oulet
pressure to provide the pilot with a feeding pressure 500 mbar above outlet pressure.
The pre-regulator is fitted with separate filter.

Flow Capacity
Sizing Equation
Standard conditions: For a 0.6 specific gravity gas; the wide-open orifice flow (Q) may be calculated using the
• Absolute pressure of 1.013 bar following equations:
• Temperature of 15°C < Sub-critical flow behavior, when (Pe - Pa ) / 0.5 Pe
Q = KG Pa (Pe - Pa )
Where:
or
Q: volumetric flow rate in m3/h at
standard conditions (Pe - Pa )
Pe: inlet absolute pressure in bar
Q = K G Pe sin K1
2 [ Pe ]
Pa: outlet absolute pressure in bar

To determine the volumetric flow rate
for gases other than natural gas, the
values in the capacity tables should be
multiplied or calculated using the sizing
equations with a correction factor.
